… but there is some awesome graffiti next door to our store on Harbord Street that I had to share. Making it even better is the fact that our awesome mail order lady Lexi took the picture!

You’d think that toiling day in and day out would allow a loyal sex store employee such as myself plenty of opportunity to treat myself. For some reason, it doesn’t always work that way. The other side of the coin is that there is so much amazing stuff to choose from and simply not enough time to try everything!

So just in case Santa is listening, Here are a few things I hope to find under my xxxmas tree this year!

1) The Njoy Pure Wand: Man, everytime I look at this toy I get a special gleam in my eye. Solid, shiny steel, curves to die for, and a weight that makes it a serious and sturdy g-spot tool. SIGN ME UP.

2) Naked in the Woods Earthly Body Massage Oil. This stuff really smells like it’s name! Fresh with a very slight hint of spice, I want to slather this all over my dry skin and streak through the alleys of Toronto (the closest I get to nature these days!)

3) Pearl Cuffs: Oh, how pretty are these! I’ve seen them up close, and they aren’t going to survive any kind of serious struggle, but dang, how good will I look while I’m promising to stay very very still.

4) X:The Erotic Treasury Susie Bright is definitely one of my sex-positive heroes of the whole universe, and this book is gorgeous enough to be the only thing on my night table. G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. The stories look stellar on top of the good looks.

5) Rosebud Vibrator: I’ve managed to make it though years of working in sex stores without ever using a rabbit-type vibrator. I have no idea how it’s happened. I think the best way to end this tragic state of affairs is with the gorgeous Rosebud. This vibe is so satin-y soft and made of silicone for those sensitive types (like yours truly). It’s also got pretty impressive power, and some extra vibe-y bits for alllll kinds of delicious stimulation.

Hello darlings! This is CoCo La Creme, member of the illustrious Good For Her crew, signing on for blog duty. I do hope you’ll enjoy these petit bon mots along with those of the lovely and talented Alison Lee. Alons-y!

Well, the holidays are almost here again darlings! That wonderful time when lovers hearts leap to the malls in hopes of impressing their dear ones with well-considered expressions of their shopping prowess. Does this mean I, CoCo, am to stress and obsess about finding each and every paramour the perfect gift? Why, non, mon cherie. This year I shall instead, allow myself to be wooed with sweet words, sweet truffles, and sweeeet sexy toys from Good For Her my fabulous workplace and preferred purveyor of all things pleasurable. Throughout the season I’ve been making my list and checking it twice for the gifts I deserve for being naughty and nice! Read on mon chere…

What do you get the girl who has it all? The sleek and sexy Liv silicone rechargeable vibrator. I’m quite sure that it’s dizzying speeds of intensity, heart-pounding pulse options and portable charger will make leaving the boudoir near impossible til February.

While pasties are a lovely and versatile nipple adornment I sometimes crave a little more mmm… je ne sais quois. The answer to my fervent prayers are these perfectly pink vibrating nipple clamps. Mild enough not to injure my sensitive nips and stimulating enough to make them stand up and salute.

And lastly, I require some quality sex furniture to assist me in acheiving all the positions so intriguing to my adventurous lovers. The Liberator Ramp shall do quite nicely. Bottoms up everyone and happy holidays!

It’s time for a bit of blatant self promotion! I wrote an article for the very awesome This Magazine, and it’s now online! Read it and learn all about the history of anti-porn feminism and why porn rules, okay?

And here is a little video where you can see the lovely insides of the Good For Her Headquarters, and hear me yapping all about my job and porn. I hope you like it!

Can I just talk a bit about how much I love Nofauxxx.com? Seriously, I’ve been following this site since it first started up by one Miss Trouble waaaaay back in 2002, and it’s been an ongoing fling. This little pornocopia is one of the first unabashedly queer sites to really go for the gusto and include an unbelievable combination of high art, hot sex and an impressive diversity of models.

It’s time to say hello again with Nofauxxx 2.0. Trouble has amped up the sex, lowered the membership cost and is hard at work on her first full-length DVD (which the very thought of is making me giddy and feel funny in my underpants area). And what else will you find here? Well, there’s an awesome blog, a wicked message board, a handful of super sexxxy free pics, and for members, thousands of high quality GORGEOUS pictures and a heaping handful of videos too.

I also love a site with a Mission Statement that includes a commitment to safer sex, art and an inclusive casting attitude. Including work by some of our faves like Madison Young, Dylan Ryan and Jiz Lee doesn’t hurt a bit, either.

Good For Her has a bit of a love affair with the Gladstone Hotel. The past three years, the Feminist Porn Awards have been held in their ballroom, and we’ll be hosting a very special episode of Granny Boots at the end of January. We’ve now paired up with them and some other awesome Toronto stores for the Urban Shoppin’ Experience deal. Until April 2009, you can stay at the Gladstone and receive a fist full of coupons and sweet deals.

And if you want a little fun right now, check out their Artist Designed rooms online. I desperately want to stay in the Model Citizen room. Peacocks everywhere!
